Aptly launched amid the politically-charged atmosphere of the upcoming UK General Election, this insightful and compelling short film, written and directed by Peter Franklyn Banks through Kode Media, captures the often-unheard voices of young people as they try to find their place in a rapidly-changing world.
Beautifully captured on 16mm film, the documentary features school leavers wearing shirts adorned with colourful messages and signatures from friends and teachers. These personal details add a layer of authenticity and intimacy, allowing viewers to connect deeply with the participants.
As the camera captures these young individuals, their voices narrate their hopes, dreams, worries and memories, painting a vivid picture of their current state of mind and their aspirations for the future. By presenting the point of view of the next generation at this pivotal moment in their lives, the film seeks to foster empathy and understanding, encouraging the audience to reflect on the kind of future we are shaping for them.
